The Seventh Day Adyeniisfs.
MARSHALL, Va, July

MAKSuALI', VA july - 400.
To The editor Of The Alexandria Gazette:
We noticed in your issue of Jane 25th letter
from correspondent from this place, 2 part Of
which is calculated 10 mislcad the minds Of your
readers as to the work of class Of people known
as Seventh Day Advcntists.' 1t is true that we
have our tent pitched here and hold meetings
each night and on Sundays. This may appear n
"nov lty to the people of Marshall, rs it did to
the Athcnians and strangers in Pauls day when
he was preaching at Athens but notwithstanding
all that, Paul preached the TRUTH and we would
say to yonr correspondent in the language of Paul
as he stood npon Mars Hill, 1--WE perceive that in
all things yc arc too superstitious"
As to the tract entitled Seventh Day Advent
ists,' We would say that it gave brief sketch of
the rse progress and principles of the above
named people. But as it describes the 'Millertc
craze of 1Si6, VIC would say perhaps il does mp
pear that way to your correspondent, but TO any
candid mind, void OF prejudice it would present
different phase altogether. Your correspondent
has called the attention o. yonr readers to the
work of r. T. Grant that exposes certain forms of
adventism." Would it not be well tor your cor
respondent and others to come ont and hear for
themselves and not take evidence second handed,
especially when it can he secured original? We
came to this place few weeks ago and pitched
our tents and began meetings. We would say
that VIC have n regular organized conference in
Virginia and that our ministers are licensed and
sent out by that conference, and we preach the
commandments of God and the faith Of Jesus
and believe that people must be wholly converted
ere they can receive the touch Of immortality. If
this kind of doctrine will dcmoralize and cause
people TO shrink with horror" all we have to
say is, may God pity their condition.
The Adventists have established themselves in
many parts of Virginia, as well as in all parts Of
the world, and some of the best people wherever
we go sympathize, aid and actually associate with
u.s. Does not this indicate that we should not be
condemned? We cordially invite
all to come and hear US.

RICHMoND's WAR MoNEY.-The City
Council of Richmond has had its attention
called to a matter which involves the ques.
ton of the city's liability for halfa million
dollars of Confederate States government
money. During the years 1861 and 1862 the
city of Richmond issued as currency
large number of small notes, of the denomi-
nations of two dollars, one dollar, fifty cents
twenty five cents and ten cents. The agre-
gate amount of these notes was about five
hundred thousand dollars. Now, number
of suits have been brought against the city
by some parties, who gathered up all these
notes. The city pledged itself to pay these
notes; but, they were issued while the Con
federate States government was in existence
which was held by the United States gov
eminent to be no government at all. These
bills were used in the payment of taxes to
the Confederate government and passed
current throughout the Confederacy. The
case is considered by lawyers to involve
some knotty legal points.

THE TROUBLE IN THE BRITISH CABINET.

The TROUBLE IN THE BRITISH CABINET.
The conduct of the British government
over the Cas- affair has caused discomfort
even among the warmest supporters of the
ministry. The explanation made by Mr..
w. II. Smith in the House of Commons yes
terday was heard in the chilliest silence, ex-
cept when he announced that the Lord
High Chancellor would institute thorough
inquiry into the matter. In consequence of
the feeling in the conservative party, Mr..
Matthews has offered to resign the Office Of
home secretary. He has been requested,
however, to remain in office until the close
of the present session of Parliament. In
the House of Commons yesterday Mr.. Viii.
liam Smith, referring to the action of the
House in the Cass case, said the House act
ed under the wrong impression, that the
government was opposed to an inquiry in
the matter. 1t was the duty of the govern
ment to institute full and impartial in
quiry, to establish the truth III connection

To SHOW that it is not the polygamy OF
the Mormons that is the cause of the oppo-
sition the Gentiles of Utah have to them,
but rather their possession of the property

fact that that opposition has rather been TO-
C eased than decreased by the adoption, by

ATTEMPTED CRIMINAL AsSAULT.-A ne.
gro man named Arthur Peterson, who says
he belongs in Wilson, n. c., and who was a
passenger on the Norfolk steamer Carolina,
yesterday attempted to commit criminal
assault on young Norwegian woman
named Anderson, also q passenger, and
whose home is in Norfolk. The attempt
was discovered and frustrated, and Peter
SON was confined until the city was reached,
when he was turned over to policeman
and locked up. He is apparently about
thirty wears of age, thick set and muscular,
and has brutal look. The crime comes
under the Jurisdiction of the q. S. author
lilies. Miss Anderson's version OF the affair
is that during the evening Peterson made
insulting signs to her, and that at $50 next
morning he entered her room and made an
assault upon her, cutting her clothes with
some sharp instrument, but failing IN his
purpose. She gave the alarm and frlghten-
ed him of. Her first knowledge of his
presence was when she awoke and found
him sitting on her bed. She had left her
door open during part of the night; but, be-
fore going to sleep closed it. The negro's
statement is that he slept opposite the
young lady, and only once during the night
did he go near her door. to get drink OF
water that she aroused when he passed,
looked out and laid down again that he
said nothing to her; that he was the only
colored passenger there, but that the
steward of the boat, lighter than he was,
slept next to the room occupied by Miss
Anderson; that he noticed him come out
several times during the night and look in
the lady's room. Nothing was known until
the morning, when the girl was seen sitting
in her bed crying, but as she could not tell
in English, the passengers came to the con-
clusion she was insane.
